Transferring the operation plan to your ERP system

When a product request is released, the SAP Business One bill of materials is created or updated from the operation plan in the product request.

When an item that already exist in SAP Business One is assigned to a product request, a copy of the SAP Business One header and line level fields is created.

Any modification of the item in SAP Business One that happens after the assignment of the item, and before the release of the product request, is not taken into consideration at release.

Fields that are defined in SAP Business One and not used by Build are not updated by Build and their values are preserved in SAP Business One. For example, UDFs and their values that exist in SAP Business One are preserved this way.

When the master data is updated or the product request is released, quantities are synchronized between Build and SAP Business One. To ensure correct synchronization of these values, Build performs some calculations in the background.

The SAP Business One bill of materials quantities and the header quantity of the SAP Business One bill of materials are calculated from the line quantities and Quantity per or Time per values of the Build operation plan.

The calculations are based on the following formulae:

• Header

<SAP Business One header quantity> = <least common multiple of quantity per values>

• Material lines

<SAP Business One quantity> / <SAP Business One header quantity> = <Build quantity> / <Build quantity per>

• Resource lines

<SAP Business One quantity> / <SAP Business One header quantity> = <Build job time> / <resource time unit> / <Build time per>
